Birmingham Driver Dies After Collision with 18 Wheeler

A man heading southbound in the northbound lanes of Interstate 65 died after he crashed into several vehicles, finally colliding with a semi truck just before 5 a.m. Friday morning. Police believe the 26-year-old driver was from the Birmingham area. No other injuries were reported in the accident.

This accident is indicative of most accidents in which cars, pickup trucks, or SUVs collide with large trucks. Because of the extreme size and weight of 18-wheelers, accidents involving large trucks often result in serious injury or death to occupants of passenger vehicles involved in the collision. If you have been injured in an auto accident with a large truck, you have most likely suffered serious injuries that will take week or months to heal and may leave you disabled for the rest of your life. If the accident was caused by negligence on the part of the truck driver or trucking company, you deserve compensation for your injuries.
